While Gordon Smith has pretended to be a moderate, he's voted time and time again with the George Bush agenda. As an Oregon Democrat, I am very committed to defeating Gordon Smith in the November general election.

I want to be sure that all of the candidates here are equally committed to the cause. I was concerned when I heard that Steve Novick would vote for former Republican John Frohnmayer over any of his fellow Democrats should they win the May primary.

Here's my question: Will you commit today to do everything possible to defeat Gordon Smith, no matter who the Democratic nominee is?
